Description

Coach George Raveling is a living icon in the fields of sport and leadership. His story begins in the 1930s, under the shadow of segregation, and stretches over eight decades of excellence and achievement against the odds. In this remarkable book, written with long-time friend and mentee Ryan Holiday, Raveling explores the contours of his extraordinary life and offers valuable lessons in leadership. From his ground-breaking tenure as a basketball coach and his life-changing encounter with Martin Luther King Jr to his appointment as Nike's first Director of International Basketball and his integral role in signing Michael Jordan, Raveling reveals the hard-won lessons of a career that has defined sport and excellence for a generation. Far from a typical sports memoir, this book offers unique wisdom to illuminate the path for anyone who wants to achieve their full potential and navigate life with clarity and purpose.
